WE HAVE TO FACE FACTS…………..

            The Muslims ARE a danger!

            I explained in my last entry some of the big problems within the  present group that controls the Catholic Church and have changed it from what it is suppose to be). Here we have to face what Islam IS!

            Christians who belong to different traditions live harmoniously together all over the world. By contrast, Muslims do not live harmoniously with Christians – or with any other non-Muslim group – anywhere in the world, and have never been able to do so, for reasons inherent in their ideology. Violent intolerance against “infidels” is mandated by their holy book, exemplified by their “prophet,” and firmly rooted in 13 centuries of recorded history.

            Until a leading Muslim figure comes out and assures non-Muslims that he unreservedly rejects ‘sharia’, ‘jihad’, and discrimination in every shape and form – Sura 9.5 included – and until his position is supported by the majority of the Muslim world, the “stigma” will be every bit as justified as that against Communist dictators or National Socialism (Nazi’s).

            This “essentialist view of Islam” is supported by experience. Attempts to reformulate the doctrine of ‘jihad’ in particular are not new, but they have failed because they oppose centuries of ‘orthodoxy’. As the author Clement Huart pointed out in 1907, “Until the newer conceptions, as to what the Koran teaches as to the duty of the believer towards non-believers … have more generally leavened the mass of Moslem belief and opinion, it is the older and orthodox standpoint on this question which must be regarded by non-Moslems as representing Mohammedan teaching and as guiding Mohammedan action.”

            A century later, the willingness of a few to become what are objectively bad Muslims may be laudable in human terms, but it will do nothing to change the score. A reformed faith that would question the divine authority on which the institutions of Islam rest, or attempt to rationalistic selections or abatement to effect a change, would be Islam no longer.

            Islam, founded by a man who cannot ‘prove’ that god spoke to him and in its eminently orthodox codification, threatens the world, and discriminates against lovers of freedom. We must do everything we can to keep this THREAT away from us.
